• A Wolbachia symbiont in Aedes aegypti limits infection with dengue, Chikungunya, and Plasmodium. (2009, background): “aegypti lifespan are predicted to reduce pathogen transmission without eliminating the mosquito population (Brownstein et al., 2003; Rasgon et al., 2003; Sinkins and O’Neill, 2000).”
• Incompatible insect technique: incompatible males from a Ceratitis capitata genetic sexing strain (2009, background): “In recent years, Wolbachia has attracted renewed attention as a potential tool for insect pest and disease control (Beard et al., 1993; Bourtzis & O’Neill, 1998; Sinkins & O’Neill, 2000; Bourtzis & Robinson, 2006).”
• Overview and relevance of Wolbachia bacteria in biocontrol research (2006, unknown): “A third approach involves the transfection of life-shortening Wolbachia strains into arthropod vector populations (Sinkins & O’Neill 2000; Rasgon et al. 2003).”
